P-SERIES SERIAL MATRIX
ASCII Code : LF LF
Hex Code : 0A 0A
Purpose : Prints the data in the buffer (if any) and advances the paper one line at the
current line space setting. See the comment.
Expression : CHR$(10); CHR$(10);
Comment : If configured for LF equals newline (LF=CR+LF), the logical print head is
positioned at character column 1 of the new line. Otherwise, the logical print
head does not move when configured for LF function only (LF=LF ONLY).
The LF function cancels all single line print attributes such as double high
(elongated) and double wide (expanded) characters.
This code is always configured for LF=CR+LF in the P-Series mode.
In the P-Series Even Dot Plot mode (high density graphics), the LF code
does not cause paper motion; the data in the buffer is plotted and the logical
print head is positioned at character column 1 in anticipation of the Odd Dot
Plot control code to complete high density graphic plotting.
In the P-Series Odd Dot Plot mode (normal density graphics), the LF code
plots the data in the buffer, advances the paper a single dot row at the current
vertical dot density, and positions the logical print head at character column
1.
